Geocache Description:


“The Nailsea Round series is a trail of caches encompassing the Nailsea
Round footpath that surrounds the town. It is placed in three parts by
three geocachers: Daryl’s dad, Swanageboy and Team Mojo 100.”

Along this walk you will pass 49 caches in total,  29 Caches that are from stand alone or parts of other series plus 20 of The Nailsea Round cache Series .

Starting from layby at Wraxall House N 51 26.415  W 002 44.700 ,the Nailsea Round takes you to Wraxall, Tower House Woods and West End, Morgan’s Hill, Backwell Lake then back to Wraxall House via Backwell Bow.

Alternative parking at Engine Lane, Nailsea or Backwell Lake (time restrictions may be in place), Backwell Station car park (charges apply).

The Round is waymarked with distinctive waymarks.

Ash is a very hard wood and is still used for tool handles of all kinds. Its strength probably led to its adoption in folklore as a representation of masculinity. The Norse tree of life, Yggdrasil, whose crown was in heaven and roots in hell was a giant ash.

Norse mythology also records that the first man was made from ash and this reference appears in later English folklore.

Follow path and markers on to The Nailsea Round ( Majestry of the Woods )
